LEICESTER, ENGLAND -- In one of Britain's most dramatic modern archaeological finds, researchers announced Monday that skeletal remains found under a parking lot in this English Midlands city were those of King Richard III, for centuries the most widely reviled of English monarchs, paving the way for a possible reassessment of his brief but violent reign. Richard Buckley, the lead archaeologist on a project to identify the bones, told reporters that tests and research since the remains were discovered in September proved "beyond reasonable doubt" that the "individual exhumed" from a makeshift grave under the parking lot was "indeed Richard III, the last Plantagenet king of England.
In February 2004, Cameron Todd Willingham of Corsicana was put to death for allegedly killing his three young daughters in a house fire. Prior to the execution, the governor and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles - every member a [Rick Perry] appointee - ignored a report by Austins Gerald Hurst, one of the nations premier arson experts, that showed the arson finding resulted from a shoddy investigation based on outdated methods.

A judge could enhance a defendant's sentence based on facts proven by a preponderance of the evidence - due process doesn't require proof beyond a reasonable doubt, the en banc 3rd Circuit has ruled. The defendant pled guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. Treating the federal sentencing guidelines as advisory pursuant to U.S. v.
